  • Use them for flower arrangements or bud vases. It’s a great alternative to store-bought vases for large parties and outdoor gatherings. Cluster them on a tabletop for a more grandiose effect or arrange them down a long farm table for a simple yet elegant look.
  • Place tea lights in them and scatter them on tabletops for a glittery lighting scheme.
  • Transform larger jars into hanging lanterns. Wrap thin gauge wire around the lip a few times and overtop as a handle.
terrarium jars
TERRARIUM JARS
  • Make a terrarium with an oversized jar. Just layer gravel, sand and soil at the bottom and plant ferns or succulents for a chic trendy look.
  • Turn them into hurricanes and luminaries. Fill them with shells, pebbles or other small items then place a pillar candle on top. Line them along walkways to illuminate a path.

BATHROOM ORGANIZATION.
  • Reinvent them in the bathroom as vintage-inspired Q-tip and cotton call caddies.
  • Gather a collection to use as containers for craft supplies or kids toys in a craft or playroom.
creative photo frames
PHOTO FRAMES
  • Reuse them as creative photo frames. Place a photo inside and press towards the glass for better visibility.
  • Nail the lids to the underside of garage, kitchen or laundry room cabinets to create screw-on containers for small supplies and odds and ends that keep clutter off the countertops.
